Today our UninstallGuides Team wrote this post to help you uninstall Windows Defender Status Manager on your own Windows and/or Mac computer. This troubleshooting guide should also work for other versions of Windows, such as 8.1, 8, and 7. To do so, please read the very specific part of this how-to. Well, can you perform the uninstall of Windows Defender Status Manager manually? Yes, you should absolutely be able to get that stuff done. It's just yet another WARNING! Please do not continue until you have read the following sentence: to uninstall the Windows Defender Status Manager app, you can forget Control Panel, as you would have to deal with some critical, hidden or protected system hives (e.x, Windows' Registry Editor) instead. Even the smallest mistake on your side can easily damage your system irreversibly. And, if there are indeed difficult times, know that our uninstall tool PRO is already behind your annoyance, helping to keep your operating system clean and problem-free. If you do not want to risk crashing your system, you can give our professional program removal tool a try now. You may also consider disabling or uninstalling the .NET 3" afterwards.
On the other hand, please look carefully at any other optional programs when it comes to the below term, Possibly Unwanted Program (PUP). Because PUPs can be frequently embedded in bloated or sponsored setup files, from so-called free downloads to shareware and to adware. However, there is a simple way to keep those foistware at bay. We can’t stress that enough: slow down your mouse, or always keep an eye on your left mouse button that most starters are unaware of! This too helps shorten your right-click menu effectively.
Now, you may proceed to the troubleshooting parts.
